Glad it was helpful!
Sharing my experience: I had an anterior SC joint dislocation almost a year ago. I saw two orthopedists and consulted with another. I was given similar information to what is in this video. A CT scan showed only a small amount of displacement and I was advised not to do surgery or try to reduce it. While the injury has improved, and I think it continues to improve, I still very much get pain, feel occasional popping with certain movements, feel a tightening sensation going up to my jaw. I have done lots of diligence through PT, but am still quite a ways from normal function. While I'm still hopeful that it will continue to improve, from my personal experience, setting expectations of recovery in 6 weeks or so was not even close to realistic.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
therapy help?
@@kashiua I did PT after the initial injury to restore strength and mobility. I'm sure that helped. Down the line I saw a manual physical therapist who focused on things ribs, neck, and general alignment to try and reduce stress and improve proper movement. It didn't hurt, but can't say that I've seen any substantial change.
This is useful to know. I expected the doctor to pop mine back into place when I went to hospital today but they just suggested I rest it, apply ice and do gentle exercises. I'm hypermobile and don't even know how I got the injury!
Anterior SC dislocations at least usually don't need to be reduced.
It’s the only joint on the superior body (SI on the inferior) that connects the axial skeletal & appendicular skeleton. Very important joint for postural balance! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I appreciate the feedback!
I am so relieved to have found your video. I recently hurt myself and have had pain from back of my ear to my my scv. I have a lump and was worried that I would need surgery. I am in a lot pain but not excruciating. It’s been a week since I hurt it so I will be patient and do stretches for it
I have a partial anterior dislocation of my sternoclavical joint. I am an avid weight lifter. I struggle with shoulder and pec on that side and joint constinately pops in and out. Would love to see any videos on how to possibly strengthen surrounding muscles to deal with this. (I have been seen by a dr)
Look up teres....I had to start with no weight and worked up to water bottle. This has made a huge difference...I wasn't using it.... compensating with other muscles. Other is forearm on wall right angle, lean in while extending the same leg. Chest and arms open up. Hope helpful
Hello doc, Noel here from Philippines. Glad I saw this video. I had a small bump in between clavicle and sternum in left side it is very hard and it is as small as like a q tip. I dunno what it is. Any idea doc or what should I do.

Are you looking for people to study? I am a healthy 56 yrs old and goal in life to get my body untwisted from severe impact by a drunk driver. I have use magnesium, diet, exercise and meditation to heal. My ribs were twisted. I have had acupuncture, massage and manipulation which all helped with the sternum release. Now it is moving! The sternum was so far down. I purchased a rib brace in January with breast cut outs and it literally is a life saver as I can be more active. The left shoulder that received most impact from seatbelt is moving up. The first shift caused huge hives for weeks. Think nerves were very irritated as it healed. Hives pop up when impinged and travel down. I know that I have undiagnosed sternum dislocation. However twisted. Ribs were pushed down from left and blow out back on the right. I am working my teres to help. I told the doctors that my neck is longer I feel like a turtle and my neck is stuck in. Well it was but it was the sternum. I am a person of service and want to share what can help others.
Hi, thank you for the video! My current situation is very unique- every time i move my left arm, my collarbone makes a clicking sound and u can actually feel the ligament moving in/on the collarbone. The pain runs all the way from my collarbone to my upperback/shoulderblades. I did an MRI + Xray and it shows that the ligament is inflamed + my collarbones are not identical on both sides (the painful side has less gap and is higher than the other) My doctor only recommended that I stretch a lot and gave me some pain medications which arent helping. I've been having this issue for over a year now and it does not seem to get better... I cannot exercise/go to the gym anymore because it is always painful. Please help. Thank you again!

I have this issue now. Sternoclavicular dislocation where my inner color bone is sticking out and over towards my esophagus. I am a very active man who enjoys working out with weights and calisthenics. My question is, will I be able to do what I did before after healing normally?
